Pterygium Excision
Pterygium surgery removes an abnormal tissue growth from the eye's surface to relieve irritation, improve vision, and prevent further progression, using techniques to minimize recurrence.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery is performed when a pterygium—an abnormal, wedge-shaped growth of tissue from the white of the eye onto the cornea—causes irritation, recurrent redness, blurred vision, or threatens the visual axis. The goal of surgery is to remove the growth, relieve symptoms, improve vision, and prevent further progression onto the cornea. How pterygium surgery works is by carefully excising the abnormal tissue from the cornea and sclera, then covering the area with a conjunctival autograft or amniotic membrane to reduce the risk of recurrence. The procedure is typically done as an outpatient surgery with local anesthesia. Recovery involves temporary redness and irritation, but modern techniques have significantly lowered recurrence rates and improved comfort and long-term outcomes.

A quick office procedure using laser technology to seal retinal tears and prevent vision loss by creating a protective scar barrier around the affected area.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery
MIGS procedures help lower eye pressure using tiny implants or gentle canal techniques when eye drops alone are not enough, preserving eye anatomy while reducing your need for daily medications.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, most often due to elevated eye pressure. Vision loss is irreversible, making early detection and consistent treatment essential to preserve sight.
Cyst Excision
Minor eyelid cysts are common, benign lesions that can arise from blocked glands or skin structures. The procedure involves numbing the area and removing the cyst through a small incision, typically in-office with minimal downtime.
